Different pearlite interlamellar spacings of 0.54 % carbon (C) wheel steel were obtained by heat treatment, and the influence of interlamellar spacing on fatigue behavior of the steel was studied through conducting the staircase method fatigue testing and decreasing/increasing stress intensity factor range (Δ K ) fatigue crack growth tests. The results indicate that the fatigue endurance limit and fatigue threshold with smaller interlamellar spacing are higher than those with larger one, which can be well explained by dislocation slipping theory. Furthermore, the fatigue crack growth rates in the near‐threshold and Paris regions were found to reduce with decreasing the interlamellar spacing. The decreased growth rate is attributed to the deflected crack path induced crack closure effect, as evidenced by fatigue steps on the fatigue fracture surface. The present results show how to enhance the fatigue property of wheel steel through refining the pearlite interlamellar spacing.
